Tiada PRK di kerusi parlimen Subang, kata SPR

The Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, Johari Abdul, informed the Surveyor of Elections (SPR) that no by-election (PRK) will be held for the Subang parliamentary seat following Wong Chen's resignation as the MP. Wong Chen, who has been serving as the Subang MP since May 2018, announced his resignation today after submitting his resignation letter to Johari on Wednesday.

The purpose of the resignation was to give Parliament staff three working days to make preparations for the vacancy. Wong, who previously represented Kelana Jaya from 2013 to 2018, stated that he and Johari agreed to not disclose details about his resignation until today. Wong is among three PKR MPs who recently had their access to the MyKhas portal, which manages special requirements for parliamentary constituencies, restricted.

Two others are Ampang MP Rodziah Ismail and Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung. All three attended the Together Launch event in May, a party now led by former PKR leader Rafizi Ramli and Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
